Remember the Mel Gibson role in Hangover 2 that was taken from him and given to Liam Neeson? Â The cast of the film refused to work with Gibson, but it seems like Neeson hasn’t really worked out, either. Â The director of the film wasn’t happy with the way Neeson’s scenes turned out, but the actor was not available for a reshoot because he’s now busy filming another project.
So the role had to be given to another actor… Nick Cassavetes.  If this doesn’t work out, then who knows who will get it next – Javier Bardem is a bit young, but he could make it work in a pinch.
